When you say you "can't send/ return error", what's the error you get exactly?
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Error in call to API function "files/upload": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "application/octet-stream; Charset=UTF-8". Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".
Error:400"
It seems that orther dev of dropbox fix it? (Edit: i think my code error when not send data in binary)
at that time the error return say
Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
and when add two header
Content-Type: application/octet-stream (1)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack (2)
=> return error
add only (1) or (2) => return success
Steve M.Are you by any chance making an AJAX request and using Firefox?
There seems to be a known issue with Firefox where it adds the "charset=UTF-8".
Hi Steve , i got an issue where content-type get rewite to charset=utf-8 , i'm using ajax and firefox , what is that known issue ? and how to solve it ?

Fernando, can you start a new thread with the specific code you're having trouble with? That way we can help you in particular without spamming the others on this thread.

Thanks in advance!
- Was there a resolution to this? It looks like there's only 2 content-types I can send via the upload endpoint
- Greg-DBHi Hinto, we haven't heard back from Trương on this thread, so we don't know if their issue was resolved.
